I tried to be a vegetarian after my bird died but I am a runner I can't afford to give up lean protein like fish and red meat, I only gave up poultry. Always look out for your health when you are giving up something.

@JBird It can be tough, but Carl Lewis was a vegan and said his best results were in the year he turned vegan.

@jomsim not everyone can be a vegan. I almost killed myself when I did that.

@JBird Completely agree with that. What works for one doesn't work for another. Although I'm not a vegan, I'm a big fan of genetic nutrition profiling. If a person's genetics suggest it'd be really difficult for them to be vegan, they shouldn't try to force the issue.

@jomsim did you ever try to be a vegan?

@JBird Yes, I did, but found it incredibly difficult.
